Page 44 highlights

Lid Lock Your SmartLoad™ dryer locks its lid at the start of the drying cycle, providing added safety for you and your family while it is operating. This lock ensures the lid cannot be opened while the drum is rotating. The LID LOCKED light (above the START/PAUSE button) comes on when the lid is locked. If the LID LOCKED light is flashing, the LID LOCK is in the process of locking or unlocking. During this stage, the lid still cannot be lifted. The lid must be closed before the drying cycle can start. If START/ PAUSE is pressed with the lid open, the machine will beep, to signal that the lid needs to be closed. Once the lid has been closed and START/PAUSE is pressed, the LID LOCK will be activated and the drying cycle will begin. Power Failure If the power is cut while your SmartLoad™ dryer is operating, the lid will be unlocked. In some circumstances the drum door may not be automatically opened. If this occurs it is best if the dryer is not interfered with. When the power is restored the dryer will automatically resume operating. However if it does not automatically open, first close the lid and start the dryer in the usual manner, after 5 seconds press START/PAUSE. This will cause SmartLoad™ to open correctly with the lid unlocked. If it is absolutely necessary to remove some items before power is restored follow the steps below: 1 Ensure the dryer is disconnected from the power supply. 2 Open the lid (this will already be unlocked). 3 On the left hand side of the dryer there is a thumb tab that appears when the drum is closed. Press the thumb tab, while rotating the drum by hand away from you (push the drum towards the back of the dryer). 4 Hold the thumb tab down until the drum starts opening. 5 Keep rotating the drum until it is fully open and it comes to a stop. 6 Now you can remove items from the dryer drum. 7 Close the lid once you have removed desired items. 8 Re-connect the power supply to your dryer. The drum door will automatically close and the dryer will resume normal operation when power is restored. 44 Hold thumb tab down Push

Your
SmartLoad
™ dryer locks its lid at the start of the drying cycle,
providing added safety for you and your family while it is operating.
This lock ensures the lid cannot be opened while the drum is
rotating.
The

when the lid is locked.
If the

automatically resume operating. However if it does not automatically
open, first close the lid and start the dryer in the usual manner, after
5 seconds press
